Cook, who made the Pro Bowl with the Oakland Raiders last season, is scheduled to visit with the Saints Thursday (Mar. 14) according to the report.

Earlier this month at the NFL combine, coach Sean Payton identified tight end as a position the Saints would look to address in the offseason after their top pass catcher at the position, Ben Watson, retired following the 2018 season.

New Orleans did not receive much production from its tight ends in 2018, with three players combining to catch 63 passes for 735 yards and four touchdowns in the regular season. Cook eclipsed all those numbers by himself with Oakland in 2018.

Cook hauled in 68 passes for 896 yards and six touchdowns last season, all of which were career highs in his 10th NFL season. He ranked fourth among NFL tight ends in receiving yards last season and fifth in catches.
